The weather will get worse and worse

Another nail in the coffin of Bush's theory that there is no such thing as global warming and that, even if there were, we wouldn't be the ones causing it:

Extreme weather events -- including heat waves, floods and drought -- are likely to become more common over the next century in the United States because of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new study by Purdue University researchers.
...
Instances of extreme heat will probably increase throughout the country, the scientists concluded, and many areas will experience heavier downpours even if rain becomes less frequent.
...
Under this scenario, which assumes the amount of carbon dioxide in the air will roughly double over the next 100 years, the coldest days of the year in the Northeast will be as much as 18 degrees Fahrenheit warmer, and the temperatures currently experienced on the 18 hottest days of the year in the Washington area will prevail for two months.

The Southwest will become drier and hotter, the paper predicts, while the Gulf Coast will become warmer and experience less frequent, but more intense, rains.

And stronger hurricanes, obviously, with more loss of life and destruction of property. But who cares? We just cannot let China and India get away with not reducing their emissions, therefore, we won't reduce ours either.

So there. That'll teach 'em a lesson.
